    2025 Garage Sale Thread (14th Annual)

    This grinder was sitting on the ground at an estate sale this morning. When I bent down to check the hp rating, I heard the gentleman running the sale that he had just taken it out of its original box. Unfortunately it is only a 1/4 hp. Never been assembled or used. Any ideas on the year of...

    Help! Is this a Snap on Ferret ratchet?

    I found this at a garage sale today. I thought I knew exactly what it was. Ratchet was completely jammed up, I only paid a few bucks for it. Cleaned and greased she works perfectly. Does not read Snap on or Ferret anywhere, the only marking on the shaft is AT-8022 (not sure about the T)...

    Vintage S-K Tools

    I found these screwdrivers today at a garage sale. Screwdrivers are something I haven’t typically looked at until recently. I grabbed these SK drivers because I can’t recall ever seeing clear handed ones before. To me they look very similar to Craftsman drivers.

    Ellis hinged adjustable wrench

    I found this neat wrench at an estate sale today. Never seen one before. One side reads 61M ELLIS, the other PAT NOV 303. The adjustable part is free and works. The hinged part is seized up, although l’m not sure how it works, I think you pull out the small knob on the side to unlock the hinge...

    Long C Craftsman 1/2” drive set

    I found this set at a swap meet this weekend in Pennsylvania. Although it is in nice condition I believe it is missing some pieces. Also I’m not sure about the toolbox it came in, if it is the correct box is the color correct? It doesn’t appear to have been repainted, if it was repainted...

    2022 Garage Sale Thread

    Was supposed to go to a swap meet at a small dragstrip here in north Jersey with my brother today, unfortunately it was canceled due to the three days of rain we have had. We did hit a couple good garage sales this morning. All this came from one sale. I could have spent hours at this place, it...

    Let's see your Herbrand!

    I picked this up at a flea market yesterday. It works perfectly and is currently disassembled for cleaning and an evaporust bath. I’m wondering about Herbrand’s use of screws to hold these ratchets together. Mine has slotted screws but most of the ones you see have philips head screws. The...

    Mac 1/2 inch ratchet handle

    I’ve had this ratchet for years, it works perfectly, I think it was probably in a box of tools that I bought. Was like this when I got it. I never use it because it’s missing the handle. I have looked on eBay and online and can’t seem to find a replacement handle. Does anyone know if/where I can...

    Estate sale this morning. Wish I could have been there yesterday. Pretty much picked through but after some digging I found a few things. $5 for everything. Nice. . Craftsman heritage box with removable tray. Handle is missing but otherwise I think it’ll clean up pretty well. Long C Craftsman...

    Hinsdale 5/16 drive set

    If, by saying you are in the same boat you mean that you have some 5/16 drive pieces, please post some photos here. I’m particularly interested to know if my crossbar is correct. The one in the picture from AA appears longer than the one in my set, also mine is not knurled on one end.

    Hinsdale 5/16 drive set

    I picked this up today. I didn’t realize until I got home it was 5/16 drive, when I looked at it I thought it was 9/32. Unfortunately it is incomplete. Five of the seven original sockets, the box and what may or may not be the original crossbar for the handle. The decal is pretty beat and the...
